Projects are proposed at this stage. They reflect advice from partners currently engaged in the bid development.
The Projects will be refined as more partners become involved. The process for partners to shape the R&D Program is here.

  • Farm-level water management models and case studies for optimising water applications and trading

  • New risk management tools and strategies for agriculture, such as insurance products and financial offsets

  • New forms of engagement in Basin governance, that draw on international experiences and local trials, to accommodate a range of values and interests, especially those of First Nations people
